Problems with your post:

> You can't message someone with white space in there username

Yes, you can. Replace the space with an underscore. You complain about that several times, but obviously you fail to understand how this works. Admittedly, I didn't know how it worked until I asked, but at least I didn't post a rant.

> It is just as bad ... to post to USENET with a fake email address.

Hmmm... why would someone want to post to usenet with a fake e-mail address? To stop spambots from pulling their e-mail address out? And posting an e-mail address like ovidREMOVETHISSPAMBAITSECTIONTOEMAILME@easystreet.com is just frickin' annoying.

That's almost as annoying as i_had_a_little_trouble_so_i_came_up_with_this_and_now_defend_it_because_I_am_so_inconsiderate.

Update: Wow. This is my first flame on Perlmonks. I am being drawn to the dark side :(
